Big D And The Kids Table Do Your Art

Double LP in a gatefold jacket. Cyan Blue Vinyl, limited edition of 1000 copies.DO YOUR ART isn't just an album title for Big D and the KidsTable's ninth studio album of original material. DO YOUR ARTis an inherently political mission statement delivered with gusto and enthusiasm to anyone creative to remind them to keepgoing, even if the odds are increasingly stacked against them in this hyper-capitalistic society. "I wanted to instill in young artists_or old artists, or whoever_to keep doing it," says frontman David McWane. "Life might pull you away with itsdemands: but don't give up. Every musician, artist and dancerneeds to realize that there's magic inside of them that otherpeople just don't have, no matter the circumstances of theirupbringing." DO YOUR ART, finds Big D and the Kids Table sounding as fresh and inspired as ever for their fifth album with SideOneDummy Records. Produced and engineered by ReelBig Fish's Matt Appleton, DO YOUR ART is a musical meltingpot, highlighting the band's versatile talents and delivering amixture of punk, ska and dub-reggae songs, as well as payinghomage to McWane's favorite `60s B-films. The 20-track albumis truly a moveable feast. And what's moving are your feet!DO YOUR ART is a reminder to make the most of life_evenwhen at its lowest points_and also to not be dissuaded fromcreating what you want to create. It's an album that will makeyou think and feel, but also make you dance and laugh. It's asurge of positivity in a crappy world where it's all too easy to feel equally crappy, and a much-needed jolt of perspectiveabout everything that's going on. "I definitely want this record to be helpful for people mentally," says McWane. "It'ssomewhere for them to go to and laugh. So listeners can focuson recognizing all the good things in their lives_all the beauty, and all the people who love them_and make sure to enjoy their life and DO YOUR ART!"
